Part 2/9:
The conversation shifts to the nature of the twins' education, emphasizing their attendance at a Quaker school—a school connected to the Christian sect known for its commitment to peace and silent worship. The father recounts his own experience at Quaker schools in Philadelphia and Long Island, elucidating the principles of Quaker meetings, where individuals sit in silence and share insights driven by the Spirit. This methodology fosters introspection and speaking up, qualities they anticipate the girls developing over time, contrasting sharply with the father's own childhood silence and shyness.
